I have received a M.Sc. degree in 2021 from Aalto University with major in Computer Science / Big Data and Large-Scale Computing and minor in Multidisciplinary Energy Studies.
Currently I work as a doctoral researcher in the Learning + Technology group, where I study teaching of computer science with visualization and automatic feedback. My advisors are Ari Korhonen, Otto Seppälä, and Juha Sorva. My supervisors are Lauri Malmi and Alex Jung.
Interests
Data Structures and Algorithms
Automatic Assessment
Information Visualization
Equity and Diversity
Below is a five minute video of what I am currently studying.
